How to enable scrolling by default. I'm using Acrobat DC. Every time, when I open document I chose in view -> Page Display -> Enable scrolling. It works, untill I close Acrobat. When I open acrobat next time, in order to be able to scroll I should do this set up again. How to make this setup stick?

Hi @miket24434990,
Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!
Acrobat, by default opens the PDF in the view that has been set at the time of creation.
You can override the settings by going to Preferences-> Accessibility-> check the box saying "Always use Page Layout Style" and change it to continuous.
Hope this helps.

Sorry for the very late reply, completely missed it.
Yes, this problem, like so, very many other software issues (Adobe specifically) - they just continue to languish on and on and on for years without a rock solid resolution from the company...
Same is true for other companies as well unfortunately...

This does not work UNLESS the Accessibility setting is off or matches. Accessibility setting negates anything this flow is set to do! You should always add that caveat to this step flow if you're posting it.

Thanks for pointing it out.
Adding a screenshot for the preference you mentioned to ease out navigation for future users:

I went through EVERY SINGLE Preference in Adobe Acrobat to try to figure this out. I'm very happy to finally have an answer (years later), but - jeez - how would anyone know that "Always use Page Layout Style" would have ANYTHING to do with ENABLE SCROLLING!!!

ain't it da truth.....
Makes one want to punch a hole in a concrete wall because of the simplicity of the resolution and for some reason, the software vendor does not make easier to find that resolution.... up to us to kinda guess our way through...
sheesh, technology......
